Abstract
Various bicyclooxacalixarenes, tricyclooxacalixarenes and oxacalix[2]N-hexylnapthalimide[2]naphthyridines are synthesized via SnAr condensation. This research has involved synthesis optimization. The oxacalix[2]N-hexylnaphthalimide[2]naphthyridines have exhibited host-guest binding in fluorescence experiments. These compounds have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction.
